Balsamic Watermelon Chicken Salad
This salad is a refreshing mix of grilled chicken, watermelon, feta cheese, and mixed greens, all drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 2 cups cubed watermelon
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
- Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
- While the chicken is resting, make the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the vinegar has reduced by half and thickened slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, watermelon, feta cheese, and red onion.
- Add the sliced chicken and drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Toss gently to combine.
Notes
- You can use any type of mixed greens you like, such as spinach, arugula, or romaine lettuce.
- If you don't have feta cheese, you can use goat cheese or mozzarella.
- To make the salad ahead of time, prepare all the ingredients and store them separately. Assemble the salad just before serving.
